About any Caddy techs not posting on this, here goes. I put a Platinum and a regular Escalade side by side a while ago. My honest opinion is that the HID's seemed brighter to me. I had a chance to drive a Platinum home on an overnight road test for a driveability concern. IMO the headlamps were ok, but not as bright. No hating, no bs, just posting what I came up with.

Hunglowe- Have to say, love the look of your ride overall. Is it lowered at all?

The Platinum is more than just LED head lamps. I understand certain situations can dictate certain actions, but the LED head lamps are more than sufficient. If you are in the market for a Cadillac I would highly encourage you to see a Platinum edition in person before you decide not to purchase one. I love mine and certainly wouldn't give it up for a Luxury edition.

i just think the plat. headlights look amazing coming down the street behind me..i have an 07 ext...and yes i know the hids are "brighter" but im not driving in the bushes..cant wait till i can affored the transfer..still pretty $$$$$$

Re: 2009 Cadillac Escalade Platinum EDITION HEADLIGHTS

OK, I am glad someone brought this thread back and knew it would pop up eventually (I meant to ask about this and forgot)... this is about the ONLY reason I would want a Platinum besides the wheels...

SO... Is it TRUE that you can retrofit these with a 100.00 harness? If so, where do you obtain the harness? Moreover, how much were the lights in the original post? I watch ebay from time to time but never see any on there. I'm guessing $1500-2000.00? Reason I ask is I noticed there were old posts by a called "WaterKing" who went through ALL KINDS of headaches to put these on his 2007 'Lade, and now someone is saying they just bought a 100.00 harness... something isn't adding up, unless someone is making the complete harnesses now for just this purpose.

If I could get a set of the lights, and then the Platinum wheels, I'd have a "poor man's" Platinum for 55 grand less and be plenty satisfied!
